What better time to review and share all my inaturalist.org confirmed butterfly sightings over the last year!
All of these pictures were taken in the HuttoParke subdivision in Hutto, Texas. I documented 38 different butterfly species. Rejoice!
All but one species, the Great Purple Hairstreak, was spotted in a suburban yard. I found it at our neighborhood park on some Marsh Elder plants. I don't enhance photos other than to crop the size down and I use my iphone 6 to take the pictures. Enjoy the Butterflies!!
